General Notes: Husband - Harvey Walker


The thickening mill has left us several words of familiar import, among which is Walker. Claiming as it does an almost unrivalled position in the rolls of our nomenclature, it reminds us of the early fashion of treading out the cloth before the adaptations of machinery were brought to bear on this phase of the craft. Walker has disappeared as a term of trade, and it is in the directories alone that the name declaring the forgotten mysteries of early English cloth manufacture can be found. But the stern virtues which made the early bearers of the name useful and valued citizens are still evidenced in the life of their posterity, showing the virility and mental force which characterized them. [GPHWP, 1378]

He was a resident of Pittsburgh, PA, removed to Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, at an early date, and there was a real estate dealer.
